Saturday, July 25, 2015

Good morning! I am sorry to be so scarce these last few weeks. I have been enjoying my summer vacation and have been traveling since June 28th and ticking things off of my summer bucket list. This week I am home and my parents and niece are coming and I cannot wait.

We have lots of plans for the beach, shopping, spa and of course doing a little baking. I am anxious to try out a few new recipes using peaches and blueberries. These two fruits always remind me of summer because I spent many happy days picking peaches and blueberries with my grandmother, siblings, cousins and mom. As I type this I can taste the sweet peaches and feel the fuzz on my lips. I think I ate more than I put in the baskets but isn't that what summer is all about?

Good morning! How are you? How is your summer going? Mine has been BUSY; lots of family, friends, road trips, vacations, adventures, and more. I will tell you later about a few of my trips to North Carolina, Wisconsin, Louisiana and all stops in between.

I cannot believe it is already the middle of July. Summer is almost over and I am beginning to feel like a kid that has to go back to school soon. So this week my mind is on my summer "bucket list." Did you make one?

I wrote down a few things I wanted to do at the beginning of summer and have been slowly ticking them off. Simple things like watching the fireworks, going on a picnic, spending lots of time at the beach, laying by the pool, spending afternoons reading, and taking a few road trips but I still have a few things to left to do.

I still want to:

Do a little stargazing

Make s'mores over a bon fire with my nieces and nephew

Visit a new place

Take in a few museums

Visit a few historical sights

Get to know my city better

Catch fireflies with the kids

Take up a new hobby

Attend an outdoor concert

What about you? Did you make a list of fun things you wanted to do this summer? How are you coming along on your list?
